Overview
- BYD’s U.K. arm said Tuesday it will bring the Ti7 as its first seven-seat model, setting it up as the brand’s local flagship.
- The Ti7 uses the DM‑p plug‑in hybrid system that pairs a 1.5‑litre turbo petrol engine with dual electric motors for all‑wheel drive, with a claimed 79‑mile WLTP electric range and 0–62 mph in 4.8 seconds.
- The three-row SUV measures 5,146 mm long, 1,995 mm wide and 1,865 mm tall, making it longer than the Land Rover Defender 110 and Discovery.
- The model already appears overseas, with a Kuwait dealer listing from 11,899 Kuwaiti dinar, while U.K. pricing and full specifications will be announced in the coming weeks.
- Coverage frames the Ti7 as a step beyond BYD’s smaller EVs, with a long‑range plug‑in setup that could appeal in markets where charging access is uneven, including the U.K. and potentially India.
